It’s the season of all things pumpkin. Something about Autumn makes you think about putting pumpkin in absolutely anything and everything! With Thanksgiving just two weeks away, I thought why not create a non-traditional dessert option with this traditional ingredient. Hello, Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream! Pumpkin curd, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves are blended with cream cheese to create velvety scoops of holiday goodness.

As a true treat, I chose to serve my ice cream in waffle cone bowls – the perfect addition of crunch! To insure your ice cream is truly holiday worthy, I recommend topping with Buttery Cookie Caramel Sauce.
